Death of the Forums

["Mark McCall" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

By an amazing coincidence I just got the message below this morning.

Now - do these old under-used forums need replaced?
If a new system was faster would people use it?

Thanks

M.

> Dear CoolBoard Webmaster,
>
> Over the past two years, the CoolBoard Express network, a service of
Centerwheel Corporation, has grown at an incredible rate due in no small
part to the contributions of enthusiastic and committed webmasters such as
yourself.  During that time, the CoolBoard staff has worked diligently to
provide the richest features and easiest management tools of any free
message board service.  Along the way, we've looked on with both fondness
and a bit of pride as your communities have grown.
>
> It is therefore with great regret that we inform you that the
CoolBoard
Express service will be discontinued effective June 29, 2001.  It was a
difficult decision for us, but one that we feel is more in line with
Centerwheel's primary focus of providing collaborative customer support
solutions to enterprise customers.
>
> Please take the next month to begin informing your users about the
discontinuation of our CoolBoard Express service.   After the service is
discontinued on June 29, 2001, we will delete all archived message board
information and cease distribution of information to third parties as
described in our privacy policy.
>
> To make this transition smoother, we're in the process of compiling a
list
of potential message board alternatives.  You should receive this
information by email shortly.
>
> Finally, on behalf of the management and staff at Centerwheel, we
would
like to extend our sincerest thanks to you for your support.
